Kojima and Platinum hint at Metal Gear Rising 2

The creator of Metal Gear and the makers of Bayonetta may have another collaboration in the works, as the two parties get very pally.

Considering they’ve still not had a mainstream hit we’re consistently surprised that Platinum Games are still in business, let alone announcing new games. Their biggest title so far though has definitely been Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and it seems Konami is still interested in working with them on another game.

Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima has been tweeting a series of photos of the teams meeting at both a restaurant and their respective offices.

A sequel has never been confirmed but last year Konami was polling customers as to their interest in another game, and Raiden’s non-cannon appearance in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes was accompanied by the comment ‘maybe we’ll see you again’.

On the face of it Platinum would seem to have too much on their plate at the moment to start on any else, but work on Bayonetta 2 must already be largely finished and the recently announced Legend Of Korra is a downloadable game due out this year.

So after this year that only leaves Xbox One exclusive Scalebound that they’re still developing, leaving plenty of space for Metal Gear Rising 2.
